21G x 1" Covidien 1182110 Monoject Hypodermic Safety Needles 100/BX 

• Model: 1182110
• 21G x 1"

The Monoject 21G × 1″ Safety Hypodermic Needle is designed with dual priorities: precision and safety. At 21 gauge, the needle is thick enough to deliver moderate fluid flow for injections or aspiration, yet fine enough to be relatively gentle to the tissue. The 1‑inch length accommodates deeper injections than shorter needles, making it suitable for intramuscular (depending on patient size / site) or subcutaneous routes, or where a bit more length is required for access. Because it has a regular wall, the needle maintains standard wall thickness, balancing strength and sharpness.

A key feature of this needle is its hinged safety shield. After use, the shield can be engaged (often via thumb or pressing against a surface) to cover the needle tip securely. This reduces the risk of accidental self‑sticks by healthcare workers, patients, or waste handlers. The shield’s design is meant to be intuitive so that activation does not require a complicated maneuver—this helps with compliance and safety in fast‑paced clinical environments. The needle is single‑use, sterile, and each unit is individually packaged to preserve sterility until use. The materials (stainless steel needle, polypropylene hub, etc.) are standard for safety and performance, and the component is latex‑free which reduces risk of latex sensitivity.

In practice, the 1182110 needle is a versatile choice in many care settings. Its 21G size gives a good compromise: fluid flows reasonably well without requiring excessive force, while the safety shield adds protection. However, there are trade‑offs: the regular wall means injection force is a bit higher than thin‑wall or extra‑thin‑wall options of the same gauge. Also, because of its 1‑inch length, there’s a need for proper technique to avoid inadvertent injury, especially when using in more superficial sites. As with all safety needles, correct activation of the shield and proper disposal in approved sharps containers is essential for both user safety and infection control.
